NK Celje capped off their championship-winning season in the Slovenian Prva Liga Telemach with a resounding 4-0 victory over Primorje in Ajdovščina. Playing in the final, inconsequential round, the newly crowned champions demonstrated their class against a Primorje side whose focus appeared to be on the upcoming relegation playoff matches against Nafta.

The decisive blow was struck in the first half, where Celje's offensive prowess was on full display. Striker Nikita Josifov was the star of the match, netting two goals that not only sealed the victory but also propelled him to the top of the league's scoring charts with a total of 12 goals.
